Russell-Heckle's Garden Peas 
Culture —The pea is hardy and endures cold well, either in or above 
the ground. It is best to sow the earliest varieties as soon as possible 
(February), in warm, light soil, prepared the previous autumn or win¬ 
ter. The main crop may be sown about two weeks later. Sow Peas in 
drills about 2 to 3 inches deep, in rows 2% to 3% feet apart. One quart 
will sow 100 feet of drill. Wrinkled varieties described below should not 
be planted until March.
